woman thrown off jetblue flight for being jewish

[aradisc]

This line in the original story was a red flag for me:

“I said, ‘The passenger, the Palestinian passenger, didn’t feel comfortable with me, the Jewish doctor being on the plane?’”

Not a fan of the appeal to ethos. Being a doctor means she couldn't have been disruptive in public?

[chevron]

Yea her mention of the jewish doctor line threw me off too, as like being a doctor makes you better?

I have opposed bandwagon anti semitism accusations for as long as I could formulate my own thoughts, its sad and sick

Interesting to see that her reviews as a Dr. are 2.5 stars out of 5. Below average rating of: "How well provider listens and answers questions".

Must be all the palestinians giving her bad reviews.

I thought the story smelled from the very beginning.

It's clear now, from the various reports, that our favorite doctor was more to blame than her "I'm the victim of discrimination!" routine indicated.

And, to the extent that's true, she should be ashamed of herself for blaming Jetblue's actions on religion.

She's probably thinking lawsuit & money.

[AJK]

Then she's an even bigger idiot than this story seems to suggest.

What does she think, the crew and other pax are going to support a purportedly ridiculous story?

[TimT]

There's all these stories about what she did but not one video ?

what's your point?

[ilherman]

what's your point?

I think he asked some kind of question. 

[TimT]

what's your point?

Uh, that I'd like to see a little proof first before deciding its all her fault. Usually when something like this happens half the people on the plane whip their phones out. (Haven't seen it yet on those sites)

would you want the same proof in the situations were reversed (rhetorical question)?

Yup

Here's a news report video link from Ari Hait that includes the voice interview of the Jewish lady's version.
Sounds like she really has to prove herself over the phone and that JetBlue has another version. with 100+ witnesses, the truth will come out.

Kudos to my neighbor who actually tried fighting with amex to dispute the flight that he booked with jetblue. True to his word he never flew on that flight and went with delta.

He's now out of almost $1200 for being a good jew.

This is the letter her received back from amex. They said the woman threatened that she had explosives! Interesting how I never heard this on the news. How can amex say this.

^^^  I'm actually surprised at their poor grammar/spelling skills.  I'm not surprised at their decision.  Your friend isn't out the money for being a good Jew; he's out the money for being an idiot.

[chaimmayer]

HUH?  You mean he had a flight but he decided to book a new one on Delta because he thought that as a Jew he shouldn't fly on Jet Blue?  Strange!
I guess he figured he could count on Amex to get his money back

An idiot? Or passionate about the fact that one of his own was mistreated.

The fact that amex is saying she was the one carrying the bombs is crazy.
